Lyrics
Follow, follow follow/ Follow the drinking gourd/ follow the drinking gourd/
for the old man is a-waiting for to carry you to freedom/ follow the drinking
gourd/ Now when the sun comes back and the first quail calls/ follow the
drinking gourd/ The old man is a-waiting/ for to carry you to freedom/ Follow
the drinking gourd/
Follow the drinking gourd/follow the drinking gourd/
For the old man is a-waiting for to carry you to freedom/follow the drinking
gourd/
Now the riverbank will make a mighty good road/the dead trees will show you the
way/left foot, big foot, traveling on/
Follow the drinking gourd/
Follow the drinking gourd/follow the drinking gourd/for the old man is a-waiting for to carry you to freedom/follow the drinking gourd/
Now the river ends between two hills/
Follow the drinking gourd/
There’s another river on the other side/
Follow the drinking gourd/
Follow the drinking gourd/follow the drinking gourd/
For the old man is a-waiting for to carry you to freedom/
Follow the drinking gourd/ Oh oh oh
